Named after the direct Spanish translation of Last Word, hence the use of mezcal in place of the gin in a classic Last Word cocktail. Pineapple juice...

Excellent! Much more balanced than the Last Word in my taste...

Amazingly it works…and works very well! Any preconceptions of what it may taste like go out of the window on the first sip. Perfectly constructed (you can skip the thyme garnish).

This was excellent! The flavors all blended together harmoniously. I didn’t think the pineapple would come through, but it did! A glorious riff on the Last Word!

One person says it’s thyme, another says it’s rosemary? Looks like thyme to me, but what’s it supposed to be, because neither are in the cocktail itself?

Hi Nicola, the garnish is a thyme sprig. The previous photo on this page mistakenly showed a rosemary sprig but we've now reshot the image with the correct garnish.

I had this my first time at a bar in the middle of CT a couple years ago. Probably my favorite cocktail.

Very nice. As a mezcal novice (but cocktail enthusiast!), the mezcal was well-balanced by the other four ingredients.

Enjoyed this, but not as much as the Last Word. May try it with gin and pineapple and see if that results in a happy medium.

actually that is thyme not a rosemary sprig...

I think the confusion may be due to the garnish originally being wrong and my subsequently correcting. Many thanks for commenting - it is due to such comments that I'm able to improve the information on this site.
